The transcript has been edited slightly for the purpose of clarity. Have you read New Noise before? Are you familiar? We’re all pretty excited to have you featured in our next issue. What the magazine is about is something that I always thought was really cool. No, you guys are one of the few magazines left that covers all these different genres and still actually do a physical product.

It’s hard not to pay attention to something like that. Did you use to collect a lot of magazines? Were you big on the ‘zine scene back in the day? Yeah, I like that aspect of it, too, that the physical magazine is still the main product it’s not a supplemental to the website. Yeah, there were a few that I would go to back in the day. There was one back in the early 2000s called Status. It was also a record label and the guy who ran it would release records by Curl Up and Die and the Casket Lottery. That was my first and only experience kind of doing any kind of writing for a magazine, so I did record reviews for it and I did a couple of interviews as well. Like, I got to interview Jacob Bannon of Converge when I was 19 or 20.

It’s kind of cool that things came full circle years later that I ended up having a relationship with him and much later on I brought it up to him, like, “You probably don’t remember, but I interviewed you,” and he was like, “Oh, shit. So he did not remember you from that interview. This is before digital recorders, so I have the mini-tape of the interview somewhere.ĭo you think it would be worth releasing it at some point? It was either during the You Fail Me or No Heroes tour I’d have to look at the date. You know, I’ve thought about it, but I would just enjoy listening back to it. I don’t even have something to play it on, so I would have to buy another one of those recorders just to hear it back because lord knows what happened to that thing. I think I was borrowing it from the owner of the magazine.Īctually, I did a ‘zine a few years back called Down Time in-between records where I actually transcribed it from from the magazine because I still have a copy of it. But I haven’t listened to the audio of that since it was originally done. I’m sure I sound super nervous which is probably fun and a little humbling. Yeah, it can be kind of hard to look back at your former self and realize, “Wow, that is the same person. That person was me.” Speaking of looking back, you have a new album coming out in October called Lament.

It seems like it’s focusing on the themes of reflection and looking back.
